Preservation of Photographic Materials (Live Online)

This four-hour online introductory class is designed to help cultural institutions develop strategies for preserving photographs: photographic identification, handling guidelines, and storage conditions for photographic collections that provide protection, security, and access.

Description:

Photographic materials present significant preservation concerns in library and archival collections. They are often heavily used and are fragile and susceptible to damage due to improper handling and storage conditions.  Visual examples of photographic processes and deteriorated photographs will be identified and discussed. Topics covered include

  • Early photographic processes
  • Issues with prints, color, film, glass, and albums
  • Environment and storage guidelines
  • Handling, housing, and security guidelines
  • New technology processes and issues.
